House of Secrets
Chapter 1: A nightmare to start the mystery
Elena's PoV
The moon was shinning at its highest peak when I woke up to a strange sound coming from below my room. So I crept out of bed and sneaked over to the cellar door beside the staircase that lead to the other girls' room (my room was on the bottom floor, past where all the guys rooms were supppose to be.) And when I turn the doorknob, it was unlocked and the door opened with a creak. Then as quiet as possible I walked down the steps to the dark room below.
Aunt Trudy told me that the cellar was off limits to the students, but I felt that I was suppose to go down there and see what was there that woke me up. And when I reached the bottom step I pulled out the flashlight I brought just in case. And what I saw chilled me to the bone, but also intriged me. There was a table that looked to contain some kind of potions and some strange looking liquids. And hung on a hanger was golden robes with the mask of a dog with one of them. And it was very creepy.
Then I heard the same sound that woke me up coming from ahead, so I walked in that direction and what I saw made me gasp and hide behind a corner. There was a boy about my age chained up to the wall and his clothes were in shreds with what looked like... blood on it. I felt so scared for myself and the boy, who could have done such a thing to an innocent looking boy.
I walked over to the boy and knelt down next to him to see if he was breathing, and thank god that for that. I brushed a piece of hair out of his face and saw that he was kinda cute and he was tall with short blonde hair. 'I wish I knew his name' I thought to myself. And as I was about to get up and look around more, I felt something grab my hand. I turned around to see that he was awake and staring at me.
"Who are you?" he asked and his voice was so hoarse that I almsot didnt understand what he was saying. "Im Elena and I going to get you out of here" I said with confidence to try and not make him more scared then he already was. Then he laughed at me, why would he laugh when he is chained to a wall in the cellar of an old house?
"Why are you laughing?" I said with an irritated voice with a hint of concern.
"Its gonna be hard to get that chain off of my..." but he was cut off when I found an old hammer and smashed it against the chaine and it broke with a soft 'clank' and I smile at his face, he looked so funny. "Dont underestimate me, im full of surprises" I said with a wink and he smiled, which made me blush.
So then I offered my hand to pull him up and when he grabbed it and I tried to pull him up, I ended up on my back with him on top of me. I stared up and noticed that we has staring at me with those pretty eyes, which made me blush again and this time he noticed and smiled back at me. The few seconds that he was on top of me felt like hours.
Then he got up and extended his hand out to me and I took it I felt a spark as he pulled me up, a little close too. Which was making me kinda nervous. "Okay, now can we get out of here? this place gives me the creeps" I asked while looking around at the room one more time.
He nodded and then we were walking up the stairs that lead back to the house when I asked him his name.
" Im sorry, my name is..." but he didnt get to say another word because as we reached the top of the stairs a man came over and grabbed us. I tried to scream but he put his hand over my mouth and then he threw the guy on the floor and pulled out a gun. He is going to kill that guy! And as he pointed the gun, I hit him in the chest and ran over to the guy and shielded him with my body but then he laughed at me, I was getting tired of that.
" I was hoping you would do that" he said with an evil smirk of his face. Then he pulled the trigger...
But that was the last of it before i woke up with a scream. I was soaked in cold sweat and was breathing hard. I know it was just a dream, but it felt so real and it made me wonder if the people in my dream really exsist.
I looked at the clock on my nightstand and saw that it was midnight, the same time when my dream was taking place, which means I only slept two hours!
And I knew that I wasnt going to fall back asleep so I got my notebook and started drawing and what I was drawing was something that (of course) had to do with the weird text I got before bed. I was drawing the Eye of Horus.
